Amazing that they never accounted for being offline. Didn't want to stick to the schedule that was set for a week of offline? Say it has to be online (it doesn't) but just say it does. Why not keep a copy of the weekly schedule locally, and then follow that if internet drops. Have a rule that says it will continue for a week offline. But it was probably done at bottom dollar

Happened August 11th; this is not a new outage.
